Ok,

Firstly hello people! This is my first post on this forum.

I have always wanted to travel. While growing up i have been to a selection of different countires round the world. Mostly with my family (Egypt, Australia, America, Singapore and some european countries). With a couple of friends i have been over to Amsterdam a few times. And with jsut one mate spent 3 weeks out in Spain (yeah i know it\'s not all that hard to get around in spain :p but it was a spanishy bitnot touristy area!).

I think having been to a few different countries round the world (i count it at 14 countries so far) I have itchy feet to get out and travel.

So now i have decided i want to travel the world. I have begun saving and plan to continue to do so over the next couple of years. And then i want to go rond the world. The plan is to start in Europe, then head over to Canada and the Americas, followed by asia, 6mths-a year in Australia and then Africa. (Total trip time to be 2+ years most probably).

I know this is going to be difficult to do and i expect to have to save a LOT of money to make this possible. Considering i have never doen any traveling on my own before i hpe this will be an adventure i never forget!

So far i have made a list of the european countries i\'d like to include, so ehre is my european leg (in the order i think is most viable):

Start - London
-Luxembourg
-Belgium
-Netherlands
-Germany
-Denmark
-Norway
-Sweden
-Finland
-Lithuania
-Poland
-Czech Republic
-Austria
-Croatia
-Hungary
-Bulgaria
-Cyprus
-Greece
-Italy
-Monaco
-Switzerland
-Spain (quick stop of to see my gran!)
-Portugal

The plan is to spend 6 weeks - 2 months in europe with a budget of 2-3k (British Pounds).

My questions are:

How plausable is the budget?
How plausable is it to get through that many countries in the tiem period?
Are there any countries that you\'d recommend i add to the europan leg?
Any other information that might be useful to helping me plan my trip 😊

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Callum.

Yeah i fully expect the euro leg of the trip to be the most expensive part. I live in London so it's all fairly priced to me anyway :P Reply to this
